Opening his Yesh Atid faction meeting, opposition leader Yair Lapid slams the government for what he describes as unprecedented waste, referring to a decision Sunday to cut funding from existing ministries to create six new offices for the minister-rich government.

“There’s never been a government that was more spiteful toward its citizens, that so disparaged good Israelis who are working, serving, paying taxes. And when? It’s doing it at our most difficult hour. People are sitting at home, freelancers are collapsing and this government of the detached and the deserters are continuing to set up jobs for their buddies … total apathy toward the crisis,” he says.
